[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I think "fit," I think - could you run a 5k (all running) if you really tried? Not that you have to run 3.1 miles every day, but could you do it? Could you hike all day and survive ok? Like you might be a tiny bit sore the next day, but you won't be really sore or worn out. Can you do 5 decent push-ups?

"Fit" is a balanced way of saying you're reasonably active. Maybe not hours in the gym every day, or be a triathlete, but you're in decent physical shape.

No, I could not run a 5K all running because I have exercise induced asthma.  I could, however (and have a number of times) run a half-marathon using the Jeff Galloway run-walk method - for fun, with my girlfriends, and not because I am marathon obsessed.  Could I hike all day? Yes and have recently.  Could I do 5 decent push ups? Yes.

Do I work at any of this? No.  I have a trainer I see about once per week.  I like to walk in the mornings when my neighborhood is quiet and go for walks outside generally.  I like to dance. I sometimes take a dance class at the gym.  But am I committed to X number of hours of exercise per week? No.  I try to get outside every day but don't always.  Some weeks my workouts consist of putting my carry-on in the overhead bin.  I am fundamentally interested in exercising if it is fun and social.  Hours alone in the gym with heavy weights are not me - I was married to that.  We did CrossFit together for a little while but he dropped it because the weightlifting was not serious enough, and then I got injured, so that was that.  Again, happy to work hard but need the social.

So how do I figure out what kind of guy I am talking to?  One that wants to make sure I won't keel over if we do something?  Or the one that requires a committed exercise habit? Or maybe even one who would be interested only in my girlfriend who has cycle trained in Colorado at the OTC?   I'm most definitely not either of the latter two.  Perhaps I'll stick with thin as a PP suggests and avoid "fit"![/quote]
